“The Scotch™ Kitchen Scissors from 3M is a great alternative to knives and chopping boards.

The design of the blades ensures accuracy and control, and will fulfill all cutting needs.

More importantly, food safety is improved, thus protecting the health of your loved ones and consumers,”

said Ms Renee Chua, General Manager of 3M Consumer and Office Business

Home-makers and frequent kitchen users are often unaware of the amount of bacteria a simple kitchen scissors can harbour. Like the cutting board, ordinary stainless steel surfaces of regular kitchen scissors can become uneven over time, creating ridges and rough spots which trap food residue. Consequently, conducive breeding grounds for bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella are formed, and the probability of cooking contamination and food-borne illness is increased.

I decided to give them as a gift to Mummy since my own HOME SWEET HOME's kitchen isnt ready yet. We decided that the Detachable scissors are allocated for the raw and the Non-Detachable scissor allocated for the cooked food. Reason? Simply because detachable blades are easier to maintain hygiene for raw food.

Mummy kept complimenting how awesome the scissors are compared to the typical ones she bought. In fact she loves them so much that she decided to skip the peeler and used the Detachable blade to scrap off the Ginger "skin". To test the toughness of the scissors, she chose to use it to cut the Ginger (I always thought only knife is tough enough to cut ginger???).

Conclusion :

Its a great alternative to knives and chopping boards! Especially for people with "butter-fingers" like ME.

The ergonomically designed, symmetrical shape makes cutting and shearing comfortable. Its micro-serration blades add an extra level of sharpness, which makes the scissors strong enough to cut through meat and bones, yet delicate enough to snip fresh herbs and fruits.
